Fear and death
Lightless path
Hope and black
Resistance for naught
Hell and back
To real terror

Horrifying the request
Telepathic stone
Verbalize at its behest
Summoner becomes
Atavus Lich
Visage from another Age
Passage through the stone
And Black Unknown

Motionless pools
Bear ancestral blight

Appearance be damned
A curse preferred
To this life as host
And deathless prison
Beyond the stone
And all that I’ve known

2. Antennae Manifest (6:30)

Origin of the Earth-Mind Entities
Harvest of larva eternally
Servitude to the Legs of Centipede
Arced thorax; coxa trochanter bend

Hail to Shrine of the Compound Eye

Circumambulate the Sacred Cell
Of Lore and writhing; the righteous swell

3. Cavern Apothecary (8:13)

SMOKE
THE CENTERS OF EYES VANISHING
EEL OF THE MIRE

BANISHMENT
PASSED DOWN FROM ANCIENT MOUTHS
A FRUIT OF THE CAVES
TO DRIVE THE MINDS OF MAN
BEYOND THE MORTAL CAGE

DISREGARD PROTEST OF ENTRY
THE FEARFUL
SELDOM REAP
GLORIOUS REWARD

approaching the robe
hooded swarth beguile
seek the most potent
the world has never seen

DOES YOUR MIND BURN
AS IF IT WERE MINE?

CATACOMB OSALIS
FANGSTAB
STRICKEN
GNAWED AT BY
THE ASP

TENTATIVE LIMBS
EXTEND
HALF-HEARTED
REPENT
CAVERN APOTHECARY

4. The Growing Overwhelm (11:03)

From the shade, of which all forms spring forth, emanates a beam of light
The shade endures; the light persists at the whim of the shade
The shade is the rock; the light is the root
The light is the flower; the shade is the vine
The manipulation of the light is cultivation
The knowledge of the shade is the soul

Burgeon
Wither
Final
Sphere
Gathering
Hopeless
Awful
Conscience

Overgrowth

Within nutrient
Wealth is found
Excrement fuel
The only witness

Pray all the while
Dead

Vile emblems
Violent roots
Halo of vines
Crown of Truth

Crawling ominous
Exponential wraith
Cradle the beating heart
At first, now a vice
Sacred garb
Holiness barb
Slowly once it loved
Slowly it does constrict
